The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Nasarawa State command has trained about 500 Special Constabulary across the 13 local government areas of the state to serve as community policing officers.

“We have trained 49 special constables successfully, while the remaining 454 are currently  undergoing training in Makurdi, the Benue state capital,” he said.
